Re: [Harp-L] Crap Musicians

[Rick In Davis <rickindavis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Read more closely.  You missed the dependent clause in the first sentence, "I believe."  
   
  I can think of people - some we are all familiar with -  who play their insturments well but who are also repulsive twits.  I don't consider them to be good musicians.  "Musician" maybe, but there ain't nothing good about them...

I agree 100% with the last two sentences of this post, and disagree 100% with the first sentence.

I regret to say that being a good person has nothing to do with being a good harp player, or a good 
musician or artist of any other kind. Plenty of great artists are awful people. Plenty of good people
are inferior artists.

It's wonderful to be both a good person and a good musician. Unfortunately, one does not
imply the other. It's a pretty strange world, and part of its strangeness is that talent is sometimes 
conferred on people who are not at all nice.
